The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

There is indeed something wrong with the innkeeper!

However, Perona did not expect that the other party was not just a soldier, but the mastermind behind all this. Could he be some kind of devil fruit user who turned the islanders into tentacle monsters for him to control?

"How dare you come out here and speak so brazenly? You are really courting death!"

Zombie Moriah led the shadow trolls to attack the frail old man in front of them. As long as there was a big guy in the team, he could crush his bones directly, turning him into mud and water and letting him completely die on the earth.

But in the next moment, hundreds of black tentacles stretched out from the old man's back like poisonous snakes coming out of a hole. These tentacles were agile and strange, as if they had their own consciousness, and they tightly wrapped around the nearby trolls at an astonishing speed.

The little giants were unable to move for a short time under the tightening tentacles. Their bodies were tightly bound and they could not break free at all, while the heads of the tentacles were like spears, accurately inserted into the trolls' mouths.

The trolls howled in pain, their voices filled with despair and fear. As the tentacles went deeper, their bodies gradually dissipated, as if their vitality had been sucked dry by the tentacles. Finally, after a painful struggle, the giant shadow troll group completely dissipated, leaving only emptiness and silence.

The whole process was short, cruel and chilling. The tentacles behind the old man showed powerful and terrifying power, as if they were tools for the old man to control life and death.

Zombie Moriah couldn't help but feel his legs go weak when he saw this scene. He was glad that he didn't go up at the first moment. His brothers from the Troll Group stepped on the mine for him. The androgynous guy in front of him had unfathomable strength.

Being able to manipulate tentacles to attack the enemy, could it be some kind of animal-type devil fruit user? It's rare to see someone with superhuman-type tentacles, but what animal-type can grow so many tentacles at once? Do octopus monsters in the sea have so many tentacles?

"Moria, come back. You still need some time to grow up. It's too early to face the apostles now."

The Shadow Queen issued a retreat order. Moriah did not have any psychological burden and slid directly to the boss's side. As expected, having a strong person by his side would provide a sense of security. He was useless and hid behind Xiaoyu together with Perona.

"From the beginning you were talking about some apostle, I don't know what you are talking about, this is the power of God and you should all submit to me"

The old man had a look of disgust on his face and didn't want to get entangled with the mortal anymore. He urged the hundreds of tentacles behind him to sweep towards the target like a storm.

These tentacles twisted and exuded disgusting mucus. They were flexible and terrifying with life. Each tentacle was like a poisonous snake with bared fangs, spitting out deadly threats.

The mucus dripped down the tentacles onto the ground, forming puddles of foul-smelling stains. The scene was extremely disgusting, as if the entire street was about to be filled with tentacles.

"You get anxious when I hit you where it hurts. You really can't keep your temper."

With another snap of fingers, more than a dozen shadow legions with sharp claws appeared. The extremely sharp claws flashed with cold light. They were so sharp that they could cut iron like mud and break gold easily. They used their claws to deal with the attacking tentacles directly.

Amid the sounds of breaking wind, hundreds of tentacles as thick as adults became fat meat on the chopping board in front of the sharp claws. They had no resistance and were constantly cut. No matter how many came, they could be cut. Moreover, the Shadow Legion had no such thing as physical strength and could fight indefinitely as long as they were not defeated.

The old man suffered a loss at the hands of the Claw Shadow Blade Corps for the first time, and afterwards he did not dare to release his tentacles easily, because the disappearance of each tentacle represented the loss of strength in his body. He was no match for the Shadow Legion in terms of consumption, so since he could not win, he decided to change his strategy flexibly.

He began to persuade her, "Before I gained the power, I couldn't even beat a pirate. I was just a fisherman who made a living by the sea. Once a strong man like you obtains it, you will definitely gain more powerful power and join us to embrace the greatness of God."

After saying that, he threw a black stone in his arms towards Xiaoyu and the others. This thing was exactly the ornament that Perona had seen in the inn, but this time the stone opened one eye and had some kind of life and thoughts as it looked at the three people.

Claw Shadow considerately caught the black stone for the queen, then half-knelt in front of Xiaoyu, and sincerely presented the "treasure" offered by the enemy. In this sea where the strong prey on the weak, the props that can be exchanged for power can not be described as treasures.

Xiaoyu took it and held it in her hand, looking at the irregular human face on the stone. She finally confirmed that this was the thing. An expression of disgust appeared on her face, and she threw it casually to Perona beside her. Since she liked this ornament, she let her keep it.

"Behelet actually allowed you to have this kind of power. It seems that you have sacrificed a lot of souls. It is only needed by the weak. Scum like you should be wiped out."

The black stone brought back bad memories for Xiaoyu. She looked at the old man who offered Behelet and tapped her head gently with her right hand. The Shadow Fruit in her body quickly took effect on the enemy.

Under the dim street light, the old man's originally ordinary shadow suddenly began to distort, and it seemed to have come to life, no longer under the control of its original owner.

Before the old man could react, the shadows quickly transformed into two warriors in black armor. They held samurai swords and moved swiftly, leaving the old man no chance to resist.

In an instant, two swordsman's slashes passed by, and the old man's head was chopped off. Blood gushed out from the broken neck. To be on the safe side and prevent the enemy from resurrecting, the black-armored warrior slashed at the monster dozens of times, and only stopped after cutting it completely into strips.

After the shadow warriors of the Helmeted Shadow Knights completed the beheading mission, they held the old man's head in their hands and walked towards their queen with firm steps.

"I'm really lucky today. I met such a weak apostle. If it weren't for Behelet's appearance, I would have thought that the other party was a fake."

After Xiaoyu confirmed that the apostle was dead, she had no interest in the head, but she ordered the shadow warrior to split the old man's head open so that her two new subordinates could gain some experience.

After the woman's head was split into two, the brain tissue structure inside could be clearly seen. There was a certain difference between it and other people's brains. There was an extra tumor in the brain, and on the tumor grew a human face, which looked like a middle-aged male's face.

Why does a woman's body make a man's voice? It's all because of the tumor in her brain. The female owner's body is just a container that holds a man's soul.

Perona felt nauseous when she saw this scene. The girl recalled the nightmare she had in the hotel. It turned out that nausea was a common thing and would bring back bad memories.
